Popular Post Saintly Fish Posted July 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2023 Spent the ebb free lining bread yesterday. Caught 2 bass 4lb and 1.5lb. But didn't take photos of them. Did take a photo of this nice mullet though (and a pic of the boys hanging out in the tender)!

Andy135 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Top dangling! That mullet is a proper result. Good job someone had a camera handy too, otherwise we wouldn't have believed you! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to abuse my position to try and convince people I catch fish if I don't!! All fish caught again on @JDP's recommended mini ugly stik, it really is a proper fun way of fishing!

But one bit is free lined with a very small hook, you need to squash the bread onto the hook though or it'll fall off in the tide. By our marina standards that one was quite small. I've seen them much bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you squeeze the bread so it resembles a kind of cauliflower floret with the hook in the stem, then it will still float. If you squeeze all the bread it will sink. You can vary the depth of the bread by varying the strength of the squeeze. The more air and fluff you take out of the bread the more it sinks. Hope that makes sense 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Love it, mullet give a better account for themselves than bass in my opinion, agree on those little outfits being such fun. He's got to stop showing off with all that hair though!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
